The post you quoted had nothing to do with Noah going pro.  It was a reply to a post calling Noah our second best shooter.

Read above. I said i quoted the wrong thing.

Stan The Man!

Our offense actually had some movement.  I'm stunned.

A friend of a friend told me 3 players failed drug tests this week.  DD must be the only one getting punished today.

interesting i wonder how true that is

Could we be a better team without Hollowell?

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Way to Go Hoosiers!

[JSHoosier 19,816]

Stan should be starting at the 2.

[IUfan_Charlie 3,867]

I swear to god if Stan doesn't start...

Watching this team, I have no doubt they'll be really good next year.....But do we really have to have years like this where we still look this bad halfway through the season?  I'm ecstatic to be down just 4, but we're obviously the more athletic, talented team and there is no crowd to contend with

 

This is where I am.  I have no doubts how good we can be.  How high our upside is.  How good we should be next year.  Certain things can be avoided to limit this bad of a season.  We aren't going to be title contenders every year.  It would be nice to balance out the recruiting of wings and bigs.  That factor has caused so many issues throughout Crean's tenure.  In modern basketball, you can't plan for attrition.  In the past it was a little more than non-existent.  Now, you have to have a balanced lineup to maintain the ability to keep going.  Beyond that, who Crean picks will either make him a genius or an idiot.  I prefer less emphasis on athletes and more on IQ.  There has to be some balance there.

Yes, he is a cancer to this team. 

[JSHoosier 19,816]

Depends.  If he'd put it together, no.  If he doesn't, maybe.

Jeremy Hollowell hasn't played.

...... This is more of a product of playing a bad team. JH wasn't exactly a ball stopper offensively.

6'10" with a good post game and can shoot outside and he's barely 18. He will only get better. He's gone.

Its not a sure thing, he is not ready for the pros. Is he going to be a good pro? Definitely, but I've seen a little info that pro scout(s) do not view his turning pro as being a good thing this year. If he does, will he get drafted? Yes. But he might find himself in the D-league for a year or two anyway, and he might just be better off polishing his game in college for another year.

4 on Frazier!

Yes, he is a cancer to this team. 

A cancer? Explanation of how he was a cancer? Because that is a strong accusation, and unless there is some info you have

Some high upside athletes are nice to have to develop, but we definitely need more basketball players.

Hollowell? Anyone heard?

Idk man, it just seems that whenever he is on the floor is when we play the worst. He doesn't make his teammates better, he makes them worse.

I doubt it.  Kid's young, he overreacts a lot.
